Yeahhhh, I wonder what inspired this poll.
*reviewing the results*
I see _someone_ is splitting hairs. :-P

msmcfeeley February 23 2006, 19:38:29 UTC

LOL
well.. yeah. It was an interesting discussion.. once I saw _someone_'s views I could see their point as to why they say it's NOT a sport.

belle1446 February 23 2006, 20:24:41 UTC

How about -- it's a sport that's judged like a competition!!

msmcfeeley February 23 2006, 20:31:01 UTC

*claps*
Yay!!!! I like it!

Also.. we forgot that the gayer the costumes are the less 'sport-like' it is.. haha

My pseudo-girlfriend has a similar point of view to this Tick person. She really admires figure skaters, and thinks they're fantastic athletes, but doesn't consider it a sport because it can't be scored objectively.

And as I already said in the poll, I don't care at all. *grin*

msmcfeeley February 23 2006, 20:17:46 UTC

Yup.. I never really thought about it 'that way'...

If figure skating is a sport than having sex while people watch and rate your performance is also a sport.

msmcfeeley February 23 2006, 20:31:32 UTC

Wow... that sounds like a cool pay per view idea! :D

bitter_crimson February 23 2006, 21:11:02 UTC

I'd watch that.

I see "sports" as activities where a person must condition their bodies to a certain level of physical fitness, flexibility, endurance, strength, etc. that must be achieved with a dedicated practice schedule that involves skills and training methodologies specific to that activity.

Well put :)
